  • Two characters who are very similar in gameplay, but one has been consistently hated while the other one has been loved. Why?
    Bit of a different video topic this time around. Something I've been meaning to make a full video on for a while. Plus I finally got a use for all the random OW footage I've collected.

      When you think about it the tf2 mercs are all stereotypes and overwatch filled with archetypes yet the tf2 cast who didnt need to be developed actually got good character development over the years without destroying those steroetypes while the overwatch cast faded away in popularity because they never evolved past those paper thin archetypes. Especially since the characters are suppose to be a main selling point for overwatch.

      @@kophullloh516 It's a problem with a ton of series that introduce new characters way too quick.
      Modern mortal kombat introduced new versions of previous characters in 9 but before fleshing them out had all of them killed and turned into goons. 10 tried to introduce new ones despite the fact we still really don't know anything about the characters their replacing or how they fit into the overall story.
      For example Kabal in the new timeline is now a good guy ok interesting i wonder where they'll take th- and he's already dead. Then 11 says he was actually evil the whole time wow. Kung lao never has a canon interaction with kung jin and so on.
      Overwatch tries to introduce you into a superhero universe with good vs evil plots but then introduces a character who doesn't fit the story in universe and aesthetically stands out in a bad way, yet since their new a ton of emphasis will be placed on them while old characters are still non characters or get retconned to fit into the newer mold.
      And no revealing that the main thing about them is that their gay isn't the same as actual character development, blizzard.

      @@superbrainz2357 As someone who unfortunately plays _League of Legends_ sometimes (albeit focused on the mobile version because I favor shorter games as a college student), that is also a problem I noticed. There's 165 champions, yet even with the rewriting of the lore, there are still champions that are just... kind of there.
      It's a mixed bag: older champions have new lore that can either be an improvement or still as generic as the old ones (and unless the champion gets some sort of visual update, these changes aren't even reflected in-game), and out of those who got released after the reboot, for every interesting, fleshed-out champion, there's several generic ones.
      To be fair to Riot Games, they do implement the lore more efficiently in the MTG-style spinoff of _League,_ but it's kind of sad that most of the focus of the main game goes to making skins for the more popular champions while ignoring those who are more interesting or those who need an update.

    I totally agree that Medic has way more personality than Mercy. I don't play either game, but both are so popular that it's been impossible to avoid picking things up about them over time. So, what do I know about Medic? His personality, everything about what kind of person he is, can be found in a single video: "Meet the Medic." I'm not even considering anything fanmade for this, all of this was from one video. What is he doing? Joking with an awake patient whose entire chest cavity is open about _how he lost his medical license,_ shooing away a dove that he's lovingly named Archimedes after it lands in said open chest cavity (and caring more about Archimedes being dirty from that rather than his patient having a bird land in their insides), blowing up his patient's heart, having a living, talking head in his fridge, making his patient hold open their own ribcage, and on and on. When he enters the battlefield, he appears in beams of light accompanied by a choir, white doves fluttering out from behind him. Ah, a medic! A symbol of peace and healing! But it's completely ironic. A subversion of expectations. And that's why it's so funny! His segment ends with him again lit up by the sun, more white doves flying up from behind him, but he's standing on an entire mound of bodies that his experiment made happen. When he gets his "Meet the Team" closeup, he is smiling with maniacal glee, holding a bone saw. All of this is in a 4 minute video! 4 minutes, _jam-packed_ with character and entertainment. TF2 released in 2007, and there are still legions of fans of Medic to this day who like him so much they've produced endless amounts of fan content, ranging from artwork to videos to fics, and so much more. Hell, now, in 2023, there's been an entire-ass _movie_ made in SFM with him as a central character!
    Now, what do I know about Mercy? What have I picked up about her character, who she is over the years I've been here and there exposed to her like I have been with Medic? Well, she's nice... A good doctor, is passionate about her job... She's attractive... Some of the first stuff I saw about her was the clip you used a few times, where she's descending from the heavens, reaching out her hand, almost a literal angel. And it isn't ironic, like with Medic. She is genuinely good and wants to help people...
    ...
    And that's it. That's all I've learned about her. And most of the fan content about her that I've happened across is, uh, porn. Not much else.

    B)he thinks it’s funny that everyone is horrified by it
    and

      So "Mercy" is fake, and Medic is... More *real,* even if he's certifiably crazy? Though, if Mercy is just _trying_ to be good while knowing about and refusing evil, that's a whole other ballgame. Medic's still the guy who stole someone's skeleton while somehow leaving him alive, at least long enough for him to realize what happened.

    I think a "dichotomous" character like Medic will always be more interesting than a straightforward one like Mercy. Even her name is so blatantly "I am good healing person." I feel like this is because we, as dichotomous human beings ourselves, find contradictory characters much more relatable. However, this isn't to say that ALL characters need to be gritty or psycho to be liked. I think it could've been as simple as, as you even suggested, making her past less than squeaky clean. Like perhaps she's so adamant on peace and doing no harm because she used to be violent, or she was exposed to great violence. Something like that to give her character more of a foundation for why she's so goody goody.

    • @lmahu6627
      @lmahu6627 7 месяцев назад +2

      There is a reason as to why she's adamant in healing and that's because her parents, who were both doctors, were killed in a war. That would have been fine, but it leaves a lot to be desired. She's just one of several other goody-good characters in the roster, and that prevents her from standing out.
      Btw, on the topic of her name, her real name is also very on-the-nose: *Angela* Ziegler. Amusingly, Medic's real name, Ludwig, means "famous in battle", very fitting for his proclivity to violence and just emphasizes the contrast of his character and chosen profession.

    Mercy: “Noooo hurting people is bad I’d rather heal every one and save lives
    Medic: “I healed the man that will kill you. The healing is not as rewarding as the hurting”

    Honestly, I like how everybody hates the wholesome-nice healer but treasures the psychopath healer

      People can only really recall Mercy from one phrase "Heroes never die"
      As for Medic?
      "The healing is not as rewarding as the hurting"
      "Oktoberfest!"
      "I'm going to saw through your bones!"
      "And thats how I lost my medical license"
      This was only for the lines I remember, theres a hundred more

    Medic is my favourite character, being a soulless monster (despite having 9 souls, one owned by the devil) he has a specific charm to him that makes him lovable

      iirc medic sold his soul to the devil then surgically added 8 more (judging by his dialogue near the end of the most recent comic, pretty sure said souls were stolen from the other mercs), then died and sold another one of his souls to the devil for his ink pen, meaning he would have 2 of his souls owned by the devil

    I’m surprised you didn’t bring Medic’s different Medi Guns, showing he can do more than just Uber like give crits, heal a lot faster, or reduce damage taken. But if picked you will lose out on Uber or the other options, so you have to strategize and which would be the best option for the round.
    However Mercy can do both heal or buff damage with a click of a button.
